| WARNING: Receiving massage from somebody who is not a licensed massage therapist can be dangerous. There are a number of areas that are dangerous to massage and many contraindications with medical conditions, some extremely serious that an untrained or undertrained person is likely unaware of. Some areas can even cause premature labor or miscarriage in a pregnant woman. For your own safety, you should check for licensing and knowledge even with a paid Massage Therapist. Many unlicensed or poorly trained Massage Therapists are still practicing, despite recent changes to laws. REPORT ANY VIOLATIONS |

| A Hand 2 Heal Massage Why hold on to pain when you could have A Hand 2 Heal? |
| You should always be up front and honest with your massage therapist about any health problems, whether diagnosed or suspected. Massage can be contraindicated both locally (REGIONAL) and completely (GENERAL) with certain health problems and very beneficial for others. A massage therapist sometimes holds a degree in science, but has no right to make a definitive diagnosis or write prescriptions.However, if your massage therapist says you should see your doctor for something, it is a good idea to listen. Ask your therapist if he/she has an Associates Degree or a diploma.It should only make a difference if you have a medical condition that needs special consideration. There is more medical training with any Science Degree. As of now, an Associate in Science is the highest possible degree a person can achieve in massage therapy. Those with an Associates in Science will be trained in Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Psychology 101, and all other areas required for an Associates in Science Degree. |
| Send me your healthy recipes and your name (IF you created them), City and State and I will post it with the recipe. It doesn't have to be green vegetables. I will post meat recipes and even sweets if there is something good inside. Let's not forget, chocolate IS good for you in small quantities. I don't promote fake foods! I cannot in good conscience post recipes with ANY artificial sweeteners (even, margarine, shortening. I will post recipes with white flour and sugar, despite certain health risks. If you are seeking diabetic recipes, there are NATURAL alternatives, such as Stevia to sweeten your food, without the toxic chemicals in artificial sweeteners. |

| As a Massage Therapist with a science degree, I was trained in a combination of Eastern and Western medical Philosophy. When I find a problem with a client, I may refer you to a Naturopathic or Medical doctor, depending on what is necessary. An Osteopath is often a good choice. An Osteopath is trained in both Eastern and Western styles of medicine. They typically use a combination to heal you, instead of just giving you pills. If you have back pain, a Chiropractor is a good choice, but diagnostic imaging procedures (x-ray, CT, MRI, etc...) should be done, especially when there has been trauma. That way you can be 100% safe. If the Chiropractor doesn't offer them, an Osteopath usually can perform or prescribe them.
